Re: Gruenberg - Grünberg- zielona Gora

Hi my mothers family left Grunberg and settled in Germany , I only know some history , that my mother came from an affluent family and were forced to leave their villa on my mothers 18th birthday by the Gestapo , a day a big ball had been supposed to be held to celebrate her birthday. sadly my mother passed away 3years ago and was always hard to get any information from , remembering would upset her, the family name was Fechner. if anyone knows of anyone with the same name or any information I would be very grateful , thank you

Re: Gruenberg - Grünberg- zielona Gora

I know the person with the last name Fechner. His first name is Grzegorz(Gregory). He is living in Zielona Góra(Gruenberg). I saw him about two weeks ago in the old town. We used to go to the same primary school. He is 56 years old.

Best regards,
